9'6'' chris christenson bonneville.
probably one of the best turning longboards i've ever ridden. pulled in nose, wide point back of center and lots of kick in the tail. i slapped a greenough 4a fin in there and love it. this board comes around quick as spit with almost no effort. it has a really shallow concave that runs almost to the center of the board. it noserides well in the steeper sections of the wave, not so well in fatter surf. also has some concave on the deck in the tail and a nice wedge stringer that narrows towards the tail. not sure if or how these elements contribute to the performance of this board.
mike was kind enough to give this to me on a demo from surf city. i had the pleasure of riding this beast for about a month before selling it to smith. during which time it became favorite board. fun in good surf, fun and shitty surf. a good all around board. deemed my bing a one trick pony. i was sad to hand it off. if you're looking for a new longboard in the wilmington area, head down to surf city surf shop and pick one of these suckers up.
deck concave and high density foam tail block.
